Show Helper journal CONGRESSMEN SEEN AS HARD WORKERS Banker Tells cf Labor Put in by Members of Congress on Mats cf Technical VOLUME XXII Measures "VUTLIXIXG legislative dure, Robert V. Fleming President lii-'Xatioual Bank, Washington, D. C gave the recent convention of the American Bankers Association a description of the difficulties and problems confronting ttia law-kers. Mr. Fleming said In part: "The most important rart of organization of the two branches ot congress is election of staudins committees. There are 31 standing committees in the Senate and 46 in the House. These are the workshops ot Congress and the real work of lawmaking is done in Committed). "The task of legislating for 121. 000,000 people is a tremendous one. Of recent years approximately bills are introduced annually In the two Houses. Only a small percentage become law, but they must be weighed in committee, adopted or rejected, perhaps amended, reported out, and then considered on the floor. "Lawmaking involves about 99 of hard and unspectacular work and about 1 of oratory. Few tasks appear so easy and are so difficult as enactment of sound and satisfactory legislation. Few individuals in any line of activity work harder or longer hours than the chairmen of the important committees during a session. I have great sympathy for :he members of Congress whose constituents expect undivided attention to every piece of legislation in which they may be interested. From my personal observation, they earnestly and conscientiously endeavor to do all that is possible. Public Hearings "When a bill is introduced, referred to committee and printed, the nest step, if it is a measure ot considerable importance, is to conduct a public hearing The committee makes an effort to listen to anyone who cares to be heard either for or against a measure, although witnesses are frequently limited as to time. Members f the Cabinet and other officials of the administrative departments of the Government usually testify ou measures in which they are interested and furnish the committee information in executive session or otherwise. "Due to pressure of work and the fact that it is impossible for mem- proce-- J ga 20,-00- bers of Congress to be technical experts on every subject of legislation, the committees are inclined to give consideration to the merits of arguments presented in testimony and the recommendations of the Cabinet and other officials. It is therefore hjghly desirable, both from the standpoint of Congress as well as those affected by proposed legislation, that the latter have an opportunity to liscuss frankly the effects of such legislation." Deposit 'Guarantee' Fails of Purpose yHE editor of the Xorwalk, Ohio, a somewhat different view on the banking situation from a goor" many people. His idea is as follows: "With rents falling and unpaid, estate dcc3 not present a happy picture. Nor does the owner of carefully selected bonds feel any happier, with a bunch of them going wrong. A lot Df folks very carefully invested in preferred and common stocks in the finest companies in the world and have seen them fall to perhaps a tenth ot what they paid for them, and no dividends at all. Some folks . ept their money in savings accounts in banks, and some banks have closed and left them high and dry. Jut the situation is worth looking at very carefully. "On government authority, most banks that closed were really solvent but for frozen assets and popular timidity. Gradually the closed banks are coming out from under and depositors in even bad cases will get at least 50 per cent of their savings. That's tough of course; nobody likes to lose half of what they had scrimped tnd sacrificed and saved. But when you hoard and stick the roll of bills in a coffee pot or under a mattress, some plug-uglcomes along and burns your feet till you tell him o take it and welcome. "And what about the great majority of banks that weathered the storm, met all corners and are doing business as usual, carefully and conservatively, but safely? What about the savings in those banks? They are a full 100 per cent today and they are the ouly thing we know of U 100 per cent anywhere. After all is said and done, a good, well managed bank is still the best place in all the world for money or savings. Eight now in Ohio the banks pay the taxes on all savings and pay their depositors net interest on their savings. We can't think, just now, ,of many other Investments thai are a truth 's safe as a savings account In a solid bank.

The session is said to have been one of the most active held in some time, with the board giving serious recognition month term on f to an effort to conduct an eight and a revenue which has been curtailed approximately 20 per cent. In order to meet the anticipated deficit ii revenues, the board ordered reductions in estimated costs for the remainder of the school year amounting to approximately $40,000. This reduction, together with rigid economy in all departments will, in the opinion of board members, make possible the eight and a half month school term. Substantial reductions were made in the estimated expenditures for school supplies and text books, transportation costs, rentals, insurance, salaries and other items, with Superintendent V. V. Christensen, Mr. Ockey, Miss Wallace and Mr. Pettit accepting a reduction of 20 per cent in salary. These savings will total approximately $40,000, and will assure students of at least an eight and a half month term. Other activities to come before the board were: Acceptance of the resignation of three teachers and filling of the vacancies by transfer; changing of bus driver on the Gordon Creek school bus rim; appointment of Milton Jones as attendance officer effective as of November 15.
